Mix Blend Mode

Tailwind CSS version

v2.1+

Utilities for controlling how an element should blend with the background.

Default class reference

Usage

Use the mix-blend-{mode} utilities to control how an element’s content should be blended with the background.

<div class="bg-green-300 ...">
  <div class="mix-blend-multiply bg-amber-300 ..."></div>
</div>

Responsive

To control the mix-blend-mode property at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing mix-blend-mode utility. For example, use md:mix-blend-overlay to apply the mix-blend-overlay utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="mix-blend-multiply md:mix-blend-overlay ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for mix-blend-mode utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the mix-blend-mode utilities by modifying the mixBlendMode property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       mixBlendMode: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the mix-blend-mode utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the mixBlendMode property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     mixBlendMode: false,
    }
  }
